[comp.ai.neural-nets] help with NeurDS log files

Hello, I just started using NeurDS and I'm confused on a few things. I was 
hoping that someone could enlighten me.

1) in the log file, using the example bp.script -> thus bp.log. On the right
hand side theres a "histogram" running down the file. "W"'s running straight
down and "E"'s running parallel for a while and then moving away from the
"W"'s: ok what does this mean? how are you supposed to interpert it? Also the
"W" and the "E" move off to one side...???

2) every so often theres a line: Loop 50: Wrong 4.000 Err 0,5166. The
nubmers do change, i.e. loop 100, loop 150 etc. What does this mean
and how are you supposed to interpert it?

3) at the end of the log file theres a: params  0.010  0.200  1.00  0.990 0.00
and under it is:
 level 1: 1.00  1.00  1.00
 level 2: 1.00
 level 3: 0.20
 target : 0.00

unit 1, 0  val  1.00  err  0.0801
unit 1,1   val  1.00  err  0.101
etc...
link  1,0 2,0  -2.124  -0.00090
link  1,0 3,0  -2.512  -0.000824
link  1,1 2,0   5.552   0.00167
etc...

I'm confused, what does this mean and how are you supposed to interpert it?
I'm tired and haven't gotten much sleep latey, so sorry for the simple
questions; sometimes hand-holding is needed :-)
Could you please e-mail me. Thanks for your time and help.
